~chapter 12~

"Hello Karkat, what would you like?" I looked in the doorway. I haven't talked to her like this since the train. She sat next to me and said nothing but gave me a hug. I was taking back a little, this was the less emotion Karkat who I had grown to love as family. All she whispered was, "word gets around fast. Just wanted to see how you were doing. You would be surprised what I see." I looked at her. "Wait, you saw all of that." She nodded letting go of me. I leaned back. "Honestly, I just want to scream. Just get away from it all, don't get me wrong I love what I do, but still. I'm never going to be the same. My family won't be the same and for once I don't know what to do."I sigh looking up at the ceiling. "You should go to dinner, I'm not hungry." I hush my tone of voice to a mere whisper and I look down. "Are you sure you can make it?" I nod, always lying. But it was for the sake of my crew. She got up and left leaving me a book to read. I wiped off the dust. 'Harry Potter?' She probably thought I needed a pick me up and I loved reading. I put it on my nightstand and attended to my plans for tomorrow. Bombing central location and all. Real action. Not the sappy stuff that had been going on. What was going on, what I live for; the action, the thrill. Another knock approached my door. "Come in." I hid the plans just incase it was cece, nope, I was greeted with a plate of Food and a warm smile. "I thought you were hungry."
